3:01 am
keeping a hand on the trousers: and dropping his kid? a ball is coming. >> tucker: sorry, tummy. >> clayton: "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ >> that's kind of hard to hold a baby and catch a ball with one time. >> alisyn: and not spill your beer. >> clayton: as a fly fisherman, fly fish in one hand and hold a baby. >> tucker: my kids are old, but i've done that. >> alisyn: that would be awkward with your 17-year-old son. >> tucker: i've played badminton hold ago baby. >> clayton: and there's a secret menu at where i go, chipotle, mcdonald's, starbucks. there's a hidden menu, but you have to be in the know.
3:02 am
and the hidden menu items are fantastic and delicious and i don't know why they're not on the menu. >> tucker: i'll tell you why, they want you to slip the maitre de a $20. >> clayton: at mcdonald's. >> alisyn: and your ketchup and-- >> better parking. >> alisyn: let's tell you about politics and that is caterpillar, you know the brand. they make equipment and machinery, the largest manufacturing of mining equipment. back in 2009, you see president obama used them as a back drop, exhibit a, a company that would be able to thrive if it got stimulus dollars, it didn't work so well. they ended up laying off workers back then which president obama thought he'd be able to stave off and this week they reported they're going to have to layoff another 460 workers. >> tucker: and as it turns
3:03 am
out, the government is not capable of creating prosperity. they can flip a switch, but they can't-- there are many factors beyond their control, like commodities prices. >> clayton: and as boring as that sound the president can't say that, in 2009 saying this is a molled for our country. >> i'm going to peoria, illinois to talk to these workers because what's is at stake are not abstract numbers or abstract concepts. they're real families that we can help and real jobs that we can save. so much depends on what we do at this moment, it's not just about the future of my administration, it's about the future of our families, our communities, our economy and our country. >> i'm so glad you brought up these things that are outside of the government's control. governor huckabee talks about
3:04 am
on the show, the government can't create jobs. the perfect example of how they cannot do it. so much is in play in china. i looked at caterpillar, buy the stocks and maybe invest a little bit and research caterpillar. and smart people say don't invest in it, because there's a bubble in housing in china and shipping the backhoes and earthmovers over to china and you know what? that's about to decline because they're about to hit a housing bubble and pull back on mining things. there's not a way that the u.s. government can try to infuse money into caterpillar and help when china is part of the problem. >> the hubris of it. the president saying we are going to create the jobs. with the stroke of the pen we'll do everything, and the numbers are amazing. so, per job the u.s. government, the federal government spent almost $300,000 from that stimulus in
3:05 am
2009. >> alisyn: in the president's defense. it sounds like if the news accounts from 2009 are to be believed that caterpillar told the president if the stimulus passed they would be able to save tens of thousands of jobs. >> tucker: of course. >> alisyn: something like 20,000 jobs. and so it's not just that the president overreached or the administration overpromised, it's that-- remember when the stimulus was -- they were selling the stimulus, it's going to save all of these jobs. >> tucker: you make the smartest of all points, there are many businesses implicated in this. of course, whenever government spends trillions of dollars certain people do benefit, wind companies, solar companies, maybe caterpillar and get short-term gains out of this, but the rest of us pay for it. crony capitalism is what it's

called. >> clayton: and green, we know the story of solyndra, and saying that it's an isolated incident, but there's one that went south frto mississippi from virginia and a terry the virginia gubernatorial candidate there. >> tucker: former head of the democratic party. >> clayton: he was the voice of the democratic party for a number of years. well, he was the chairman of a green car company in virginia that didn't do so well, and so much so that it had to pick up roots and move to mississippi. >> alisyn: that was part of the plan. green check automotive and they make the cars the size of golf carts. he brought it from china and might want to move it to virginia, where he's living now. but instead moved to mississippi and confusion about why the plant had to go to mississippi.
3:07 am
what critics are saying, tucker is giggling, and no cars rolled off the assembly line or fewer products and mccauliffe quietly bowed out as the head of this without any fan fare perhaps he didn't want it on his record. >> tucker: the point of the company, or i don't know the point, but the reason they exist is because of tons of investment from abroad under a federal program that gave to people who had green in this country. if you were on a fast track to citizenship and invested enough money. >> that's a powerful-- >> and where are the cars. and the republicans are over this, and this failure, and

take it a look at the chart. 1948. and the first year, 27 months, and the current recession, 62 months and counting. why the difference? that's striking. >> well, essentially look how mr. reagan spent the stimulus. mr. reagan cut taxes and the private sector. mr. obama spent money on solyndra, like you made reference to, make-work projects like caterpillar and those have a temporary pop. they put money into people's hands and benefit some people, but it passes and what's left is what you've started with. and it was less than that. he shut down drilling in the gulf. he prohibits drilling for oil on the two coasts and he opposed regulations on banking that make it he very difficult for, for example, first and second tier supplies in the automobile industry have trouble getting credit.

>> welcome back. well, it turns out during the the past recession, the federal government paid almost 80 million dollars in jobless benefits to households that made more than a million dollars a year. is this proof the system is broken or should top earners be entitled to federal assistance if they lose their
3:45 am
jobs. and joining us john, thank a lot for joining us. >> good to be here. >> tucker: how did this happen? i think most people would be surprised to know that people making over a million bucks are making unemployment benefits. >> on its face it's unfortunate to hear millionaires getting unemployment benefits. but more bothersome if millionaires were forced to pay into a system only non-millionaires could benefit from. and the unemployment benefits deterri deters hiring. every dollar you take from the government makes it more difficult to lure you back from the sidelines. >> tucker: isn't the current system basically an inducement to dependency, so everybody in america has a government-- to works has government-backed unemployment insurance. wouldn't it be better if the poor had it and the rest of us
3:46 am
take care of ourselves? isn't the way it works? >> i think that would be cruel to the poor and making the poor the least likely to be hired in the downturn. they have to pay into a system that makes it that much more expensive to lure them from the sidelines and raises labor costs. if you didn't have the federal government essentially paying people not to work, their labor demands would fall to where the markets would hire and get back to work. i think it's anti-poor to say you get a program that makes you unemployed for a longer time. >> tucker: when you saw the numbers just the other day, showed that half a million people dropped out of the labor force in march, do you think that unemployment had anything to do with that? >> without question it it does. love or hate the number, if you're being paid money not to work, it's going to make it that much more expensive for businesses to hire you back into the labor force. so if you wanted to rid that,
3:47 am
you'd get rid of unemployment benefits and people would then have to accept the existing jobs available and many of them maybe don't look attractive now, but i can think at my first job, it wasn't attractive, but turned out to be a good one. unemployment benefits are a deterrent to getting back in the labor force and i think it'd be particularly truly to say if you're poor, you stay on the sidelines. >> unemployment benefits prolong unemployment. >> it seems like the better solution would be for the government to scrap the program and when the employees go to work, essentially 401(k) style programs that businesses and employees would pay into. if the unthinkable happens, you have a cushion that you own during the the time you're looking for a new job. one size fits all program like this, makes it inevitable, there is he' going to be a microscopic percentage whereby people who make a million a
3:48 am
year are accepting benefits. you wouldn't have that if the individuals were doing this on an individual basis. >> tucker: that's interesting. thank you, john. >> thank you. >> tucker: more enlightening than most conversations i have at this hour, i appreciate it. >> alisyn: hey. >> tucker: hey. the u.s. postal service is deep in debt and falling apart, but a solution to their money problems. we'll tell you what it is. wrestle mania coming to new jersey tonight and we'll talk with one of the biggest stars of that show coming up.

the cascades and that moves into the central rockies and we start to see the beginning of a three-day severe weather event. i'm not going to call it a severe weather outbreak and the first one we've seen so far this season and it's going to be here parts the kansas and oklahoma for tomorrow. and by tomorrow night you start to see the snow flying across wyoming and colorado and nebraska and south dakota. and i think this will be the biggest day for a threat for tornados, from southern iowa to san antonio and every place in between that threat and then wednesday, just a little farther to the east and across the mid mississippi river valley, so a lot of people with a big population and a big area of coverage here for three days, dealing with that severe weather and then the snow behind it and that snow is going to be over a foot of snow by the time it's done. well into april, and it's jarring. and the temps not looking that bad, but warmed down across areas of texas and oklahoma and you notice the cool air and driving.

4:08 am
president was maybe taking a new path, one of balance he is been talking about the past five years works he want tax increases and spending cuts. he has provided no he details to spending cuts and now he wants quote, entitlement reform. what is he calling for? calling for a reduction in the cost of living increases for social security, and on medicare, the single biggest federal expenditure, the number one thing that the feds spend money on, the main reason we have the multi-trillion dollar debt. he wants it curtail benefits to rich people. that's it, that's the reform. and more of the same. now, 1% of the population shoulders more of the burden. >> clayton: that's why many governors across the country are having to sort of take things on their own, and deal with it themselves. governor sam brownback from kansas, look, we're not going to rely on the federal government to get us out of the the problems. it comes down to the state. >> washington is broke, big spending programs are running out of money and change is coming.
4:09 am
the ideas of how to fix the federal government are now percolating in the states, 30 of which are led by republican governor. you see, you don't change america by changing washington. you change america by changing the states. and that's exactly what republican governors are doing across the country. taking a different approach to grow the state's economy and fix the governments with ideas that work. >> alisyn: well, there you go. and it's optimistic, right? i mean, if we can't rely on the federal government. if you've lost states and their ability to control spending, they're not just republican governors, governors around the country who have to present a balanced budget and that's one of the things-- >> and all 49 states are required to produce balanced budget for fun, but the states are very different from the federal government that way. take a look at the states that are prospering. some are doing well because of the energy boom for sure, but if you factor that out, the states that are doing well

have fiscal retitude. >> i'm sorry, what. >> tucker: they're exclusively run by conservatives. >> clayton: get your mind out of the place the post office is, which is the gutter. u.s. post office broke. we talked what would happen with getting rid of saturday delivery, right? you come back on saturday delivery, that's unconstitutional we can't do that. so in order to save money, the post office has to think of other ideas. well, layoff people. we can't do that because of the union contracts. what else? let's close some post office buildings and then sell them. right? it's real estate, it's land, usually right in downtown, heart of town across this country. uh-uh, not so fast because many of the buildings were built a hundred years ago or more and they are historical landmarks and therefore, you can't sell them. >> alisyn: look, on to the historic preservationists, you don't want your postal,
4:11 am
beautiful old buildings turned into a strip mall. you know what happens in some of the towns, you know what would pop up there, the banks. >> tucker: cvs. >> alisyn: pharmacies are everywhere. do you understand the temptation are not wanting something beautiful to then be torn down or turned over? however, they need to figure out how to make up 15.9 billion dollars that they lost this year. >> tucker: it's pretty simple. look, if you're hemorrhaging money take a look at your balance sheet, where is the money going? the money is going to personnel, to salaries, benefits and above all, pensions. >> clayton: right. >> tucker: he retirement and health care. and those are the results of union contracts. this is one of the most heavily unionized work forces in the world and it doesn't work. and so maybe it's time to renegotiate the contracts instead of laying it on the rest of us, we're not getting saturday delivery and the center of town will become a

4:17 am
you look at a record number op disability. the folks argue that there's an aging working population and baby boomers hitting retirement and this is the reason we have so many folks on disability. do you buy that argument? >> well, it contributes to it, but there are real trends here that need to be examined. the disability insurance program was created by dwight eisenhower, the first years of the country had no disability. and the labor statistics compared to the people on disability by the social security administration. 1968, 51 full-time workers for each person on disability. this year, there are 13 full-time workers for each person on disability. the trend is going down and down and down and so clearly this is representative of a cultural change in the united states where a higher percentage of people during the working life are willing to accept disability.
4:18 am
>> part of the cultural change, i assume you'll say, the types of disorders that are claimed as disability. we have the top disorders, number one, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. back problems, 29 takes the list. number two, mood disorders. 15%. third on the list, circulatory system diseases 8.5%, seems to me some of these would be hard to prove. mod disorders? >> right, i think that the mood disorder one is the most problematic. up until a few years ago, the social security administration just reported mental disorders and one combined category and that was 29% of the people on disabled so they started disaggregating that and in that number there are people like, for example, schizophrenics, and i think we can understand when someone is truly schizophrenic and diagnosed with that disorder and can't work and they're going to get disability insurance. however, the other category, mood disorders, is much more subjective and there's another number they've published which
4:19 am
gives you an idea what's going on. in north dakota, 9% of people have a mood disorder. in new hampshire and massachusetts, 22%. and in american samoa, it's 3%, but in puerto rico, it's 33%. now, why are 33% of the people in puerto rico with a disability having a mood disorder when only 9% of the people in north dakota have a mood disorder. it doesn't make sense? >> yeah, seems to me, i don't know why you'd be moody, can't explain that. for more on this story, follow it with terry jeffrey and the folks over at cnn news.com have been writing about this. we appreciate you joining us this morning, terry, thanks so much. >> thank you very much. >> clayton: fox news reporter jana winter, the defense that could lead her behind bars. and one man took to the sky using nothing, but balloons. what's the movie? donny deck chair?

4:25 am
protect reporters from testifying in such a situation, it was an important first amendment perspective. california, excuse me, new york has what is known as an absolute shield law, meaning, reporting cannot reveal sources under any circumstances. colorado by contrast has a qualified shield law which basically requires the party moving for disclosure. and the courts concluded she should be sent to colorado and in fact the colorado flies here. the whole story to me demonstrates there's a need for a national solution. the national media market, we should have a federal law that in effect provides the floor for all states and hopefully on the absolute immunity grounds. >> alisyn: to recap, jana winter is the reporter who determined and learned through her sources that james holmes, the alleged shooter, had a fil disturbing illustrations that seemed threatening, that he
4:26 am
had sent to his psychiatrist. why would a judge compel her to reveal her source on that. is that public safety? what is the rational for forcing her? >> alisyn, you're right and shows the problem with insufficiently protected shield laws. we clearly have a person who committed this crime, mr. holmes behind bars. what happened, the judge imposed a gag order and that was violated presumably by the source that gave jana that information. now, what's happening now is holmes' lawyers, would i call it a fishing expedition, are trying to figure out which law enforcement official leaked this information because they allege that without knowing that, mr. holmes cannot get a fair trial. i don't want to begrudge a fellow lawyer making an aggressive argument, but frankly it's a weak argument. on one hand we have a first amendment problem and over here, a situation that does
4:27 am
not require this remedy. >> tucker: in other words, you're saying the public has this information, that fact irks a judge and as a result, he wants to put a reporter in prison? >> well, we hope-- >> that's an outrage. how can that happen in this country? >> it's unfortunately, but hearing not going to happen-- but also holmes' lawyer, aurora the shooter, we need to know who leaked this information otherwise he's not going to get a fair trial. i can't wrap my head around this argument. and from the federal context and state context that would put a reporter in that. >> tucker: and by the way it's not jana winter's fault, whether or not he has a fair trial, nothing to do with her job as a reporter which she did well. thank you, it was interesting. >> alisyn: thanks very much. the north korean dictator continues to talk tough. is he intimidating our leaders? the secretary of defense is delaying a missile test so it

4:38 am
severe, and today is not the big day at this event. a little snow left over in the far areas of north dakota and across the west, the storm is pulling into the pacific northwest and some areas over a foot there, the same system tonight is going to kick up the wind in across areas of the four corners, so get ready tonight and towards arizona and see the winds kicking up to maybe 50 miles per hour. >> clayton: a deep sigh. >> rick: i know. it's chilly again out here. >> alisyn: wear your coat, rick. i know, you stand on principle, and i like that. >> tucker: so we're spending 100 million to stop asteroids and we can't stop a snowstorm in april. >> rick: there you go. >> alisyn: let's work on that. >> clayton: and they're seeing clouds there. careful. >> alisyn: work on that. and meanwhile your headline, what else is happening. threats from north korea's kim jong-un postponing a scheduled visit from south korea because

food restaurants afford to pay more. rick berman, nice to see you. >> i worked at mcdonald's, i made $4.25 an hour. he when i wanted to make more money for the amount of work i was doing, i decided i'd go in and find another job and make more money. why not the case here? >> you know, there are people who claim that they can't get a better job and the only way they're going to get an increase is to legislate it. of course for most people that's not true. but you've got people in new york claiming unless their wage is doubled more than 100%. they can't live. most people are going to say you need to get yourself a job where you're skills, if they're good skills, will get more money. most people don't worry about the minimum wage and these folks feel the only way they'll get the increase is to push for higher wages, which unfortunately, doesn't really work. the math doesn't work here. >> clayton: so let's say the city of new york, state of new
4:55 am
york decided we're going to mandate this and require that mcdonald's pay cashiers 15 bucks an hour. >> right. >> tucker: what would mcdonald's do? >> well, first of all, they're going to go to more technology and secondly some of them will go out of business. >> tucker: replace workers? >> it's happened. if you look at the country as a whole, you're talking millions of jobs eventually being wiped out and that's why you get your own boarding pass at an airport. it's why you pump your own gas today. little by little, technology takes care of workers by pushing them aside. because at the end of the day it's the consumer at that cares whether or not this thing is priced, whatever the product and services, whether it's priced properly. >> clayton: eric's book, fast food nation, argues it makes sense to pay a higher wage the way starbucks does, health benefits and pay a higher wage and there's not a turnover and--
4:56 am
>> it's a stupid, ridiculous argument. why does eric need someone to tell a business how to make the business more productive. people that know are people there and if they thought they could price their product. starbucks is selling coffee. a very different margin. if you look at apple, for example, apple makes $400,000 per employee in profit. you look at a family restaurant. $2500 per employee in profit. you can't raise across the board like in some. >> clayton: a blanket policy. >> if you look at a fast food policy, about 25% to 30% of all of your revenue is devoted to hourly labor costs, now they want to raise it to $15. that means that 60% of your revenue is labor costs. >> tucker: and the consumer will pay for it. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> clayton: we're learning more about president obama's budget plan the white house is calling a debt reducing plan. chris wallace is going to

5:08 am
journey was a caterpillar plant and president obama back in 2009 touting the use of the stimulus dollars to help keep thousands of jobs here in the united states at this caterpillar plant. take a listen. >> tomorrow i'm going to east peoria, illinois to visit a caterpillar manufacturing plant to talk to these workers because what's at stake here are not abstract numbers or concepts. we're talking real families that we can help and real jobs that we can save. so much depends on what we do at this moment. it's not just about the future of my administration, it's about the future of our families and communities, our economy, and our country. >> all right. so back then, caterpillar told the administration and caterpillar cut 22,000 jobs from their work force because of the slowdown in global mining equipment. there wasn't as much demand. however, they said that if the stimulus were to pass, they told the president that they would be able to rehire some
5:09 am
of those moi east. well, fast forward to this past week and they had to layoff 420 more employees because apparently the demand for global mining equipment has not increased. >> tucker: no. >> and the stimulus didn't help that. >> tucker: no, but like, you know, most businesses, during every budget negotiation there's a parade of corporate ceo's coming to washington to beg money from the white house and the congress. because why wouldn't they? it's a lot easier than making it yourself. you just get it directly from taxpayers, of course, but fox, unlike every other news organization i've worked for, followed the story to the end to find out what happened. in the end, caterpillar, of course, laying people off because its fortunes are tied to global productivity and mining and the government has no control whatsoever. >> clayton: the argument that government can create jobs, here is one more that as
5:10 am
governor huckabee argues, government creating jobs. and china had a boom. caterpillar stock going through the roof and land movers to china to help with housing being built. there's a slowdown and not pulling as much minerals out of the ground and not building as many houses because they're about to face a housing crisis in china. that affects caterpillar. that's not something our govern government could help. >> tucker: and illinois is a terrible place to have a business, taxes are high, regulations out of control. in general, the united states, this is not one man's opinion, ask any man who runs a business, tougher and tougher and tougher to run a profit-making enterprise. probably easier to do a community outreach than it's ever been. >> clayton: so many car companies having moved it tennessee and incentivizing,
5:11 am
come to tennessee and build your bmw's here and caterpillar was threatening to go to tennessee. >> alisyn: and some economists maintain we'd be worse shape in had a country if the 800 billion in stimulus had not been passed, but if you break down the numbers, it's this. it ended up saving or creating, since february of 2009. 2.5 million jobs. those are important. the money that's allocated from the surplus, 744 billion dollars, so if you do the division, each job costs about $300,000. >> clayton:. >> tucker: by the way, private sector jobs or jobs overall? my impression is a lot of those jobs are government jobs which add zero to the sum total of american productivity and not all jobs are created equal. >> clayton: a lot of those are temporary workers to do a highway project and laid off again. >> tucker: you know who have
5:12 am
gotten rich? a lot of people who own green companies. >> clayton: wind, solar. >> alisyn: why are they profitable. >> tucker: the federal government has thrown huge amounts of money. the obama administration the end of this last week, decided to steer 550 million dollars in new tax credits to the wind people. >> clayton: and one of those individuals who was close supporter of president obama, head of the dnc, and virginia democratic candidate, probably saw him on television, led the chairman of a company green-- >> tech automotive. >> clayton: green tech automotive and made electric golf-cart sized style cars and never really managed to make much of a profit or get these things really off the ground. in fact, having to move it from virginia to another state. he's been touting his sort of private sector experience as as a reason to elect him as governor of virginia, but this
5:13 am
is an example where he's had to move it out of the state and quietly stepped down as chairman, and received federal stimulus money to actually run this company and therefore, there's nothing there to show for it. >> tucker: how many electric cars would we have if the government wouldn't pay for it. >> clayton: i think that tesla, i think-- it was venture capital backed money, i could be wrong, but-- >> and ken cuccinelli you probably saw him on our air, he should not be touting the experience as running the company number one, because he backed out quietly in december and they didn't produce any electric cars, and mccauliffe counters saying that cuccinelli is still on the taxpayer dole and taking taxpayer money in his position while he is also running for governor. so, it's already beginning and they are trading spares. >> tucker: who is taking more
5:14 am
money, i don't think it's a conte contest. i think that terry wins that going away. the white house he releasing the president's budget that's supposed to be a compromise. what about the new taxes and trillions of dollars. chris wallace joins us in minutes to break that down.

5:18 am
back in 2011 when we were in the middle of the debt ceiling crisis proposed speaker boehner, that if the republicans were willing to raise revenues, raise taxes that he would be willing to make some cuts in entitlements. but one of the things that the republicans, of course, boehner walked away from that deal. one of the things that the republicans have complained about the president has never put this offer to cut entitlements in writing. in his new budget, to be submitted next week, two months late, he is going to puts it in writing and call for a change in the cost of living adjustment, on social security and for some cuts to providers, hospitals and drug companies and medicare. >> alisyn: and these, chris-- >> the argument is whether or not it's enough, but it is putting it in writing the idea of entitlement cuts and it's the beginning of a possible compromise because a lot of of senate republicans have said if the president will give us some cover and will defend entitlement cuts, we'll consider revenue increase.
5:19 am
>> clayton: alisyn's point, is it enough? does that mean that a grand bargain is out and off the books, we're talking compromise? >> no, it's the basis for a grand bargain, i'm not saying it would happen and certainly wouldn't be the final position, it would be a start just as it was a start when john boehner after the election says we're willing to consider more revenue. the idea of raising taxes is anethema to republicans and each will have to come off the position to some degree and the president is coming off, maybe not enough, but it's a start. >> alisyn: do you rell think that the republicans are going to allow more tax hikes? >> well, i think it's possible, yeah. we've had several republicans on the show over the last month or so, i can think specifically of bob corker of tennessee who has said if the president would come out and call for entitlement reform and will give us cover, will in effect, he will defend the
5:20 am
idea of cutting medicare and social security, that they would be willing, not talking boehner or mcdonnell, not the leaders, but some of the back-benchers, would go along and it's interesting, the same day the president is proposing the budget he'll have dinner with republicans and this raises the possibility that he would go around the leadership and with the back-benchers and senate republicans and put pressure on house republicans. >> tucker: interesting. who is on fox news su we'll talk about this with dan pfeiffer, the president's senior advisor, his first appearance on fox news sunday and david hutchinson from the n.r.a. backed shield task force about gun control pause the senate finally is going to begin taking that up this week. >> clayton: chris wallace we'll be tuning in to fox news sunday. chris wallace always funnier on camera.

>> listen up, parents. should your daughter be trying to get married in college? one princeton mom says yes in an open letter to the princetonnion, she suggests that finding a husband before graduation is a key to a happy life. that mom a princeton alum and mother to a princeton student. and the author of "how to
5:25 am
choose a husband and war on men. great to have you, let's talk about this provocative topic. susan, i want to start with you, because your letter to young women at princeton caused a firestorm. basically you were telling them, ladies, your chances will never be better than they are now. you should find a husband now, but it sounded like you were advocating just getting the old mrs degree rather than focusing on the their career. >> no, i'm suggesting that young women on princeton campuses and terrific campuses around the country multi-task. get a worldclass education, meet your best friend, play in the orchestra, write for the school newspaper and while you're there, use that time to take a good look at the men you're surrounded by because you'll never again have this concentration of extraordinary men to choose from in terms of a life partner, someone you can build a family and raise children with. >> alisyn: okay.
5:26 am
susan, you have written a book on how to choose a husband. what do you think of susan's advice to lock up a husband in college? >> well, i think two things. one is that i think in theory, it's absolutely sound. the problem today of course is that the culture isn't the way that it was 40 or 50 years ago, so the maturity level of young people is very, very different from our parents' generation, just to give you a hands on example. i married by college sweet all right and lasted four years and there's no question without getting into that. there's no question of maturity, lack of maturity on his part played a role. >> alisyn: let me just stop you. what makes you think that women who are 18, 19, 20, 21 are prepared to choose a mate for life? >> i don't know that they are prepared to choose a mate for life. what i know if they want to have children in a traditional
5:27 am
way in the confines of traditional marriage, their opportunity to find a husband that they'll be happy with for a lifetime is probably greater if they can choose from a pool of young men who share their values in terms of that of a formal education, the same love of learning, the same intellectual curiosity and i do understand that at 18, 19, 20, 22 years old you're very young and evolve into somebody different by the time you get into your 30's. if you wait until your 30's, you'll evolve into somebody else by the time you're 40's and find a man who shares the values and you grow together and evolve together. >> alisyn: i hear you, and suzanne, but it sounds like both of you are saying, focus on your career later? >> i'm not saying-- >> no, no he. >> alisyn: go ahead. >> that's not my argument. my argument is there are two sides to our lives, there's workplace achievement and then there's love and relationships.
5:28 am
and mrs. patton is absolutely right we're focused on half of what our lives are like, when you're mapping it out. we need to focus on love and relationships and allow young women, in particular, to talk about that desire and to map out a life that allows them to have that equally with this other thing. >> that's exactly right. >> it's certainly my larger message. >> alisyn: suzanne and susan patton, a great topic and i wish we could talk about it the next hour and a half. and i'll invite our viewers to send in their comments and we'll continue the conversation hopefully in the after the show show. thank you, ladies for being here to talk about it. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> alisyn: on the run down, how the controversial it u.s. drone project got started nearly ten years. and a decision to catch a home run ball while holding his toddler. we're talking to him live about that big catch coming up. ♪ ♪

5:46 am
genesis, exodus, the numbers et cetera are not important, but yes, divinely inspired, but properly understood and put into the proper context. and if you think of the bible, and literally every single verse, i think we're going to get into confusion at least. >> clayton: we've sat on the couch before and talked maybe the growing trend not going to church, the physical building. they identify themselves as spiritual, not necessarily of a particular faith. do you think this is part of some larger narrative, some larger issue with religion and specifics? we have people not reading a bible, not going to a specific building. do you see this as a larger issue? >> yeah, almost where i don't know where to begin. i recognize there's something wrong in this survey we see that 77% of americans say that the country is losing its morals, that's pretty significant. 60% say i want to read the bible more. >> clayton: right. >> now and where is the

are really founded on the biblical truth. >> clayton: i wasn't even joking when i said a kid's version of the bible. even reading them to your kids could be a powerful way to do it and explaining to the children. there are so many translations of the bible who is to say this is the particular best one and-- >> you're right, in the bible those stories that we can get into and understand. one last point i would make, if we look at the bible as a history book, or as a science book, it's a science textbook or something, an archeological textbook, then we're going to be disappointed. if on the other hand we look at the bible as god revealing himself to us in different ways and through the human instrument that actually wrote down the bible then we will begin to understand. if we look at it as a science book and the bible is true, an inerrant word of god, but not
5:49 am
an inerrant history book or science book, looking at it in the full context, reading it, studying it and reading the first books, a great way to start and also we see the series "the bible" right? and that shows how much interest there is, but, yes, now it's time to pick it up and begin to see what is god telling me, how is he speaking to me? >> and take tucker's advice read it in english. >> alisyn: and appreciate the bible for dummies that's great. >> and children's bible and in english, it's going to be easy. al lyisy alisyn, i think you're the intellectual. >> clayton: fast food workers for higher pay. >> tucker: we'll report, you decide. spring travel deals for the baseball season. travelocity's courtney smith is here with travel for yourle whole family coming up. ♪

that was the minimum wage at the time. i was making $4.35 an hour. >> alisyn: wow! >> clayton: right? to make more money i worked very, very hard there. to make more money you have to move out to move up. so i left that job and got another job. rick burrman we had earlier on "fox & friends" said raising the minimum wage or forcing companies to raise the minimum wage won't work. land hurt business. listen. >> most people don't worry about the minimum wage. these folks feel the only way they will get the increases in fact push for higher wages, which unfortunately doesn't really work. the math doesn't work here. if you look at apple for example, apple makes $400,000 per employee in profit. if you look at a family restaurant, may make $2,500 per employee in profit. you can't raise wages across the board in every business like you can in some. >> why not just pass a law to make everyone snitch >> alisyn: great idea. that is a great idea.
6:09 am
>> why haven't they thought of that. i think the obama budget should be boiled down to that. everyone is now rich. >> alisyn: i would vote for you for president. >> thank you. maybe i'll run. >> i didn't realize you were a socialist. let's talk about this. talk about the government waste. i'm a big fan of the space program. i love it. i love nasa and i love what we have been able to do. part of the american fiber and fabric to explore strange new worlds. right? but this steps over the line. because this asteroid retrieval project is being foisted by the obama administration as part of the 2014 budget. senator ben nelson of florida, former astronaut himself, is -- >> alisyn: bill nelson. >> clayton: did i say bob? >> tucker: ben. >> clayton: that is a different senator. don't pay attention to me. he wants to give money to nasa to laso an asteroid, pull it in to space orbit around the moon. therefore, we can land on the asteroid, investigate it, make sure we don't get hit by future asteroids and then potentially mine the astroid
6:10 am
more minerals. >> tucker: is this wonder woman's las? >> clayton: magic laso and use an invisible jet and call her am zonian friends to help. >> alisyn: you said national fiber? is that because it looks like a tubous root? looks like a baked potato? is that why you thought of the american fiber? >> wendy's baked potato to outer space. >> alisyn: combining two talking points. fast food and asteroids. delicious together. >> look, i get the idea of wanting to find out what the makeup of an asteroid is and perhaps see if it's a potential disaster waiting to happen. >> just go to russia. the landscape is littered with asteroids, right? >> alisyn: there it is. that's it. that's what happens. part of the thinking is if they studied and lasoed the asteroid they wouldn't come crashing to earth like they did last month. >> we can't even control the fact it's snowing in april. >> alisyn: there is a lot of other thing we can't control.
6:11 am
>> a list of priorities. as long as we harness the power of nature and bend, you know, god's creation to our will, maybe we can improve the weather in the spring. let's start there. >> alisyn: let me talk to rick about that. >> tucker: then we laso astroids. >> clayton: good point. how many probes have we lost on mars? on mars. going down to have crash landed and we haven't been able to use them, right? how many times, for instance the hubble telescope program, right? we had to go up there and change the mirror and lens because we sent the wrong one up there. the mission to fix it was given 10% chance of success. lasoing an asteroid, what could possibly go wrong? >> tucker: that is worse than losing a probe. >> alisyn: you said, "probe." >> tucker: thanks, beavis. >> alisyn: exactly. chief healthcare reform idea the government is ignoring. the head of one major internet company says she could enroll everyone in this for free. we'll find out about the plan. >> what do you think this card is worth? wait until you hear just how much this piece of baseball

well, the obama administration announceed it will spend millions on employee navigators to help people understand obamacare and get enrolled. but why spend millions when people can enroll for free online? the simple solution that would save our country a ton of money. so says gary lower, the ceo of e-health, online site that helps people enroll with health insurance. thank you for joining us. >> great to be here, tucker. >> tucker: how does this work? >> this is simple. we're an online company, marketplace. think of us as the ebay or amazon.com of health
6:16 am
insurance. we have been enrolling millions of people for years in quality health insurance long before the words "exchange" and "health insurance" were in the same syntans, ala the affordable care act. over the years, 40% of individuals who have come to the company were previously uninsured. we just think that there is an opportunity here for the administration for government to really marry something that is really good in the private sector, somebody like us and others with the objective of getting people covered at no cost to government. >> tucker: wait a second there. why would we do that when we could spend millions hiring navigators to help people understand incredibly complicated and stupid so-called healthcare reform law? >> well, tucker, i don't know about the "stupid" part but the navigator part to me is very, very perplexing. in my home state of california, the state will pay $58 to a navigator for each individual they bring to the exchange.
6:17 am
let me give you a flavor for that. the affordable care act objectsive take 32 million uninsured americans and get them covered. last year, we saw 20 million americans come to us. if you do the arithmetic, it's 40% of the individuals previously uninsured. 40% of the 20 million is 8 million people. 8 million people out of 32 million people is 25% of the total objective here. it doesn't cost a sent. we're self-funding. that is how it operating. >> why didn't we do it in the first place? why have this tremendously costly healthcare law when it seems like the market was on its way to solving the problem? am i missing something? >> well, you know, smarter people than i have been trying to answer that in washington. all i know we have the law of the land, the affordable care act. deep in implementation side of it. then it's better efficiency and better economics and
6:18 am
lowering costs. why we need to spend a lot of money in government or why we don't take some of the very, very intest parts of the private sector combine them with the public sector for the greater common good perplexes me and escapes me. i have been talking to the administration about this. health and human services, states and well, and they are focused to understandably and trying to build the exchanges which is something we did a long time ago. i wish the president was aware of this. with the sequester and the focus on the government spending to try to save money why aren't we trying to use good things in the private sector to deliver on this at no charge to government? >> it may be, it may be too easy. too cheap. the government is instinktively against it. gary, i hope they change their mind. sounds like a great idea. >> thank you. >> tucker: new study finds some kids are wired to succeed under pressure, while others

testing and exams be setting some kids up for failure? joining us now to weigh in, dr. keith ablow, medical "a" team and bronwyn, the author of the book "accelerated." great to have both of you here. >> nice to be here. >> thank you. >> alisyn: dr. ablow, let me start with you. we remember the kids from the grade schools and the high schools who didn't test well. and they would choke on tests. now we learned from this study in taiwan that there is a gene in these kids' brains that make these high stress testing situations tougher for them than for other kids. does this change the way we're supposed to test students? >> we hope not. we know if we look for every gene comprising the human genome, we'll find variations. those who say "don't test kids anymore" because there are people genetically predisposed to do less well in the circumstances are the people who said don't have football games anymore. you got to start some people

6:26 am
there are kids who are smart and capable kids like my son. >> alisyn: what are you supposed to do for kids like your son, bronwen, who don't test well? >> obviously getting them as familiar with the process as you can. that helps. when my son was going through it, in third grade at the school, they suggested i have him evaluated for attention deficit because a little medication could help him to focus. >> alisyn: yes. that is a great point, because mr. day blow, i don't have to tell -- dr. ablow, i don't have to tell you. test stress, a cycle where the doctors get involve and if you give them ritalin, they will test better. >> there is overprescription of ritalin and adderall and medicines like that. not that attention deficit doesn't exist. it does. but don't shoot the messenger. 20% of kids who graduate --

there is a study that showed 20% of the kids that graduate public school in new york city are prepared for college or stressful careers. 20%. 80% of the kids coming out of the public schools need remediation to attend community college. this is a colossal global failure. we need more testing. and stringent standards, not less. because teachers drop the ball. the schools have dropped the ball. and until there is creative and targeted education that really strategically prepares our kids, we'll need the outside forces to come in and say just what are you doing there? anything? >> well, we -- >> alisyn: we have to leave it there. dr. keith ablow and bromwen, author of "accelerated." a great book. thank you for having the debate. we'd love to hear from the viewers if you think there is too much test stress on the kids or if it's what we need. thank you. >> thank you. >> alisyn: coming up, as
